"The proposal for a directive, which is now at second reading, aims to facilitate the enforcement of penalties against drivers who have committed offences relating to speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, failure to wear a seatbelt, or failure to stop at a red light, in a Member State other than their own. Road safety and efforts to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities on the roads are extremely important issues, as many of these accidents are caused by the majority of the infractions dealt with in the directive.
However, reducing these figures and promoting road safety is more effectively achieved through prevention based on situations that are both specific and unique to each country. While it is true that measures need to be taken to combat ‘impunity’ in cases where offenders are in a Member State in which they do not reside, disproportionate EU-level harmonisation measures – such as harmonising traffic rules and monitoring procedures by installing control and surveillance equipment that offers few guarantees in terms of personal data protection – cannot be a catchall solution."@en1
